President Hickley, we love you. Last night Christian and I were talking about the order of the Apostles, after President Monson comes President Packer. I told him I hadn't ever thought that President Packer would be the next in line and Christian said "of course not, President Hinckley was going to live forever." As I have talked to others about the loss of our dear Prophet I have heard thoughts of relief for him, happiness for him to be with his sweet wife again, and how much we are all going to miss him. I really feel like President Hinckley had a personal part in my life. He has been the Prophet during the years that I have truly gained a testimony. I think I can have a sense of what the members of the church felt when the Prophet Joseph died and how much they missed him. I am grateful I "knew" him and will miss him greatly.
